September might just be THE craziest month of the year when you are a parent of small children.

The anticipation of school starting. Sports starting up again; weekends at the field. Wednesday's at the dance studio. Tuesday at pick your martial arts. Monday at art classes. Trips to the library. Religious instruction.

HOMEWORK.Common Core.Cursing. A lot. And that's just the parent...(delighted I missed this.)

Dinner as a family.Occasionally.

Bedtime rituals.

PAYING FOR IT ALL.

Eventually, kids grow older and go to high school and college and this madness is a thing of the past.

So for all of you in the trenches, parents, educators, instructors, my hat is off to you. These next few weeks are bat-shit crazy.

You'll get into a groove.Homework will get done.Dinners will get eaten.

Remember to breathe.

Angel of mercy How did you find me? How did you pick me up again? Angel of mercy How did you move me? Why am I on my feet again?
